Thanks Guojun for the invitation! 24th January Not only do Christina and Igor work on the same molecules in the zebrafish, they even share the same birthday (but not age)! And, Julien even made it here to celebrate their birthdays – isn’t he the best PhD supervisor?
10th January Christina from Julien Vermot’s lab in Imperial College London arrived. She will be with us until the end of February – can’t wait to see her exciting results! 2022 21st December Had our annual lab outing at atoa.
6th December Mat Francois from the Centenary Institute, Sydney, visited our lab!
30th November - 2nd December Li-Kun gave a talk at the Molecular Biology Society of Japan Meeting at Makuhari. 29th October Our lab was open to the public on RIKEN BDR Open Day. We received students from Grades 1 to 12 from international schools in Kobe. 13th-22nd September Li-Kun finally made a trip back to Europe to catch up with the vascular biology research community there. She visited Henry Belting and Markus Affolter at Biozentrum, Basel, where she also gave a talk. After that, she attended the 12th International Kloster Seeon Meeting in Germany where she was selected to give a short talk. June Resumed in-person meeting at the 55th Annual JSDB meeting in Kanazawa. It was a strong turnout from the Vascular Morphogenesis Lab with Igor, Yan, Swe Soe and Li-Kun giving three poster presentations and three talks combined. We enjoyed a great week of science, food and local culture!
May Enjoyed sun, sand and sea at Suma Beach during Golden Week.
April Congratulations to Igor and Li-Kun for receiving JSPS grants! March Welcomed spring with a cherry blossom picnic (hanami)!
2021 17th December We made a long-overdue lab outing to Animal Kingdom, down the road from our lab. It was fun to be out as a group and to be able to interact with the animals. The kids seemed more interested in eating popcorn though!
